FRIDAY's FAVE FIVE

This week wasn't very good for me ! On Monday I woke up with a cold, my throat hurt, my nose ran, and I felt really lousy.

On Wednesday I felt a bit better and put my computer at the wide open window and watched the residents playing Mini Golf for the first time. It had been nicely renovated and everybody seemed keen to play ! Wheelchair or not. And I watched them from my window.

 

I couldn't participate I felt too weak. I slept not very good and on purpose, there was a full moon shining I had never seen such a big one. Unfortunately the photos weren't good. 

Each morning when I look at the sky I see the same bird sitting on the electric wire and look around. 

 

 
That's funny because it is always at the same place and always alone. It is crow, there are lots in the park and they make a terrible noise in the morning !

On Thursday it was so nice outside that I decided to join the others, just to watch them Diskus throwing ! 

They all did their best and the disks  

The next day I picked up my new phone, but afterward I was so weak that I put it in a corner. I'll configure it tomorrow. I sat down with the others and watched them play Boccia. A 96 old lady won and was very proud. 

 
Then we had our coffee together and the manager (the lady in the back) also came and sat down with us, saying that she also needed a break. She is very nice and always has an open ear.
 
Being sick and not feeling well because of this cold, I realize how happy I am to have found this nice place where you almost feel on holidays, where the air is good, no cars, only the crows making noise and sometimes two cats who don't agree on something.

HODGEPODGE JULY 10

1. What's an adult problem nobody prepared you for.

Either I never had any problems, or I was informed about everything that could happen to me. I can't remember anything. 

2. How tuned in are you to all the recent food related health news? Have you gotten rid of your scratched cookware? Did you pay attention to food additives before they made the news? What's one healthy eating/cooking/food shopping habit you need to adopt? 

Since I started cooking, I never paid attention to anything. I ate what I wanted and I think it was healthy, because I don't like greasy or too creamy things, I love salads and fruits and I am not a cake or sweet fan. I never pay attention to the expiring date either or the organic stuff, that's only money making. It becomes difficult to buy non organic food ! 

3. What's getting worse and worse as you get older? How about better and better? 

So far although I am 82 today nothing gets worse except some wrinkles more. Better is, that I became more patient and also worry far less. 

4. Are you more of an indoor person or an outdoor person? Elaborate.

It depends on the weather, I love to be outside and travel, but when it's cold and wet I prefer to stay inside and read  

5. If you had an expert personal assistant today, what would you have them do? 

 At my age, I don't need one anymore. Other than my monthly rent, I don't have to take care of anything special.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My head is empty, I sneeze, my nose is red, I caught a cold and feel lousy  ! My only random thought is when I am feeling normal again !
